The benefits of\u00a0dark chocolate\u00a0on our\u00a0roads<\/span><\/h1>\n

A U.S. study\u00a0published on Saturday, dark chocolate<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0improves\u00a0their functioning.<\/p>\n

This study confirms\u00a0the medicinal properties\u00a0of cocoa\u00a0for the\u00a0cardiovascular systemalready\u00a0highlighted by\u00a0other research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With the approach\u00a0of Easter,\u00a0that’s\u00a0news to\u00a0your health,\u00a0that will\u00a0make you happy.According to a\u00a0study published\u00a0Saturday, dark chocolate<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0improves the functioning\u00a0of the arteries.\u00a0Other\u00a0research had\u00a0so far\u00a0already\u00a0highlighted the\u00a0medicinal propertiesof cocoa\u00a0for the\u00a0cardiovascular system.\u00a0Without inviting\u00a0the public to\u00a0eat all chocolate,\u00a0the\u00a0researchers from\u00a0Yale University\u00a0(Connecticut),\u00a0found the\u00a0results of this study\u00a0sufficiently compelling\u00a0to justify\u00a0a clinical trial, and\u00a0larger\u00a0over a long period among people\u00a0selected at random.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0In\u00a0this sample of\u00a0nearly forty\u00a0healthy adults, daily consumption\u00a0of dark chocolate<\/strong><\/em> over a short period\u00a0resulted in a\u00a0marked improvement in the\u00a0cellular function\u00a0of the arteries and\u00a0we believe that a\u00a0longer\u00a0trial\u00a0might show\u00a0more\u00a0large\u00a0positive effects, \u00ab\u00a0explained\u00a0the\u00a0physician.\u00a0The 39\u00a0people,\u00a0men and women,\u00a0who participated\u00a0fully\u00a0in the study\u00a0of\u00a0six weeks,\u00a0were divided into\u00a0three groups.\u00a0The former\u00a0consumed daily227\u00a0grams of\u00a0unsweetened\u00a0chocolate, the second\u00a0of\u00a0sweet\u00a0dark chocolate<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and the third\u00a0a\u00a0placebo.<\/p>\n

During this same period, the doctors\u00a0measured\u00a0before and after\u00a0consumption ofportions\u00a0assigned to each\u00a0group,\u00a0the capacity of the\u00a0main\u00a0artery of the arm\u00a0to relaxto allow\u00a0more\u00a0blood flow.\u00a0These\u00a0measurements were made\u00a0using\u00a0an\u00a0instrument ultrasonic\u00a0high-frequency.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>GERMAIN \u00a0STUDY<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

The recent publication of a German study revealed the effect of chocolate on cardiovascular risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

The medicinal properties of chocolate appeared in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association.\u00a0This study, conducted by five pharmacologists from the University of Cologne, Germany, confirm its benefits in controlling hypertension.<\/p>\n

This publication confirms and reinforces other studies on the subject: one of them and put in evidence that daily consumption of chocolate liquor (100 grams), rich in flavanols (family of polyphenols, which are found\u00a0also in wine), decreased blood pressure.<\/p>\n

But there was no evidence yet \u00ab\u00a0what the effect might be small amounts of dark chocolate rich in cocoa and sugar and low in fat,\u00a0\u00bb says Dr. Dirk Taubert, the study’s author.<\/p>\n

This study, conducted between January 2005 and December 2006, was based on a batch of 44 adults (20 men and 24 women) aged 56-73 years and subject to a prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension.\u00a0Two groups were made.<\/p>\n

One group ate two squares of chocolate every day containing 30 milligrams of polyphenols.\u00a0The second group has meanwhile ate white chocolate, devoid of polyphenols, substances classified as having Antioxia properties dilate the arteries.<\/p>\n

The experiment was based on a period of eighteen weeks.<\/p>\n

The group has tasted of dark chocolate daily showed a decrease in blood pressure and without weight gain.\u00a0This experience has demonstrated a significant reduction in the prevalence of hypertension: 18% (from 86 to 68%).\u00a0The group \u00ab\u00a0white\u00a0\u00bb has meanwhile seen any changes in the prevalence of hypertension.\u00a0For example, a blood pressure of 14 \/ 9 would be reduced to 13.7 \/ 88.<\/p>\n

This study demonstrates that dark chocolate reduces the risk of dying from a stroke (8%) or cardiac (5%).
\nOther recent studies including one published in the journal in February 2007 and US Pharmacist conducted by researchers in California revealed that dark chocolate without sugar was acting on the muscle tone of the wall of the brachial artery.<\/p>\n

Another dating from November 2006 and presented to the meeting of the American Heart Association by Dr. Diane Becker assured the daily intake of several grams of dark chocolate a similar effect to aspirin to reduce blood clotting.<\/p>\n

On the other aprt, Dr. Norman Hollenberg has shown, following the ingestion of chocolate liquor, an increase in cerebral blood flow of people of fifty years in good health.<\/p>\n

The growing scientific evidence and for the healing of dark chocolate.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Kelm Malta, author of a 2005 study on its effects in smokers, \u00ab\u00a0the cocoa rich in flavanols, can significantly improve an important part of cardiovascular health in a population with an already\u00a0known risk of cardiovascular disease \u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

The benefits of cocoa, however, are not new: traditionally used by the Kuna Indians of Panama, they show no signs of hypertension.<\/p>\n

But cocoa has other virtues to its credit: against bad cholesterol with oleic acid, stearic acid, and phytosterols, constipation and stress.

\u00a0EUROPEEN STUDY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The chemical properties\u00a0of chocolate\u00a0are complex.\u00a0It contains\u00a0over 300\u00a0substances, including\u00a0caffeine\u00a0and\u00a0small amounts\u00a0of the obromine\u00a0which is a\u00a0weaker\u00a0stimulant. Another\u00a0stimulant\u00a0phenylethylamine\u00a0chemically\u00a0related\u00a0to amphetamines,\u00a0it\u00a0also found.<\/p>\n

At the annual meeting\u00a0of the European Society\u00a0of Sexology\u00a0held in\u00a0December\u00a0in London, Dr.\u00a0Andrea\u00a0Salonia,\u00a0an\u00a0Italian\u00a0researcher, reported\u00a0a link between\u00a0sexual satisfaction\u00a0and chocolate.\u00a0He said\u00a0the chocolate\u00a0loving\u00a0women\u00a0seem to have\u00a0a better\u00a0love life.\u00a0Groups\u00a0that\u00a0are\u00a0compared, however,\u00a0heterogeneous, 120\u00a0women ina\u00a0middle-aged\u00a035 years\u00a0and about thirty\u00a0of them\u00a0in the other group\u00a0and middle-agedabove 40 years.<\/p>\n

One of the\u00a0known\u00a0claims\u00a0about chocolate\u00a0is that it can\u00a0contribute to\u00a0aggravate acne.This seems to be\u00a0reversed by\u00a0two\u00a0studies, one\u00a0conducted at\u00a0the University of Pennsylvania\u00a0where a group of\u00a0acne patients\u00a0received\u00a0chocolate and\u00a0the other\u00a0a placebo\u00a0taste of\u00a0chocolate\u00a0acne\u00a0was neither\u00a0improved\u00a0nor\u00a0has worsened.\u00a0The other study\u00a0on\u00a080\u00a0people with\u00a0acne\u00a0who\u00a0consummated\u00a0either\u00a0chocolate\u00a0or\u00a0abstained\u00a0from eating.\u00a0After a month, observation\u00a0showed no\u00a0changes in\u00a0acne\u00a0from one group to another.<\/p>\n

Other researchers have\u00a0shown\u00a0that high levels\u00a0of phenols\u00a0chocolate\u00a0products,\u00a0also found in\u00a0red wine\u00a0may\u00a0help prevent\u00a0coronary\u00a0disease.<\/p>\n

According to a\u00a0recent article in the\u00a0British Medical\u00a0Journal\u00a0100\u00a0g\u00a0of dark chocolate daily\u00a0reduces\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0by 5\u00a0mm Hg, the reduction\u00a0in blood pressure corresponding to\u00a0a reduction of\u00a0cardio vascular\u00a0events\u00a0by 21%.<\/p>\n

Seriously,\u00a0a German study\u00a0conducted by\u00a0the team of Professor\u00a0Dirk\u00a0Taubert\u00a0of the University of\u00a0Cologne\u00a0has just been published\u00a0in the\u00a0Journal of the\u00a0American Medical\u00a0Association.\u00a0The study\u00a0aimed to\u00a0shed light on\u00a0the medicinal properties often attributed\u00a0to chocolate,\u00a0and know\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0what effect\u00a0might have\u00a0small amounts of dark chocolate\u00a0rich in cocoa\u00a0and low in\u00a0sugar\u00a0and fat\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0on the\u00a0hypertension.\u00a0It was conducted\u00a0on\u00a044\u00a0people\u00a0for some\u00a0of them\u00a0pre-hypertension\u00a0and\u00a0stage 1 hypertension\u00a0for others.\u00a0Two groups\u00a0were formed.\u00a0Was given\u00a0to the first group\u00a0twosquares of dark chocolate\u00a0containing\u00a030\u00a0mg\u00a0of polyphenols\u00a0for 18\u00a0weeks, and\u00a0white chocolate\u00a0in the second\u00a0group.\u00a0White chocolate\u00a0contains no\u00a0cocoa, so nopolyphenols, which\u00a0are powerful antioxidants.\u00a0After\u00a018 weeks\u00a0of\u00a0experimentation, the group\u00a0who ingested\u00a0a regular\u00a0dark chocolate\u00a0had a\u00a0slight decrease\u00a0in blood pressure\u00a0(hypertension\u00a068%\u00a0instead\u00a0of 86%\u00a0before the experiment), without\u00a0weight gain, while the second\u00a0group\u00a0did not experience\u00a0change in\u00a0blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Dark chocolate\u00a0rich in\u00a0cocoa\u00a0polyphenols\u00a0therefore, low in\u00a0sugar and fat\u00a0therefore reduces\u00a0slightly\u00a0hypertention\u00a0without the risk of\u00a0gaining weight.<\/p>\n
